Both you and your mother did a wonderful job. When your sister see it, you know she'll want it back. Thank you for sharing.

Oh how precious to have something your mother made when she was 17. A treasure for sure and your quilting just made it better.

What a wonderful treasure, I'm sure you will treasure it always. My Mom embroidered when she had the time, but as a farmer's wife and mother of 7 children, there wasn't a lot of time. However, I have a set of pillow cases that she did, and even though some of the stitches are coming off, I treasure them, as she has been gone from us for a long time.
